My Kilimanjaro Journey

Posted on January 4, 2015

Hi everyone I wanted to share my personal journey to preparing for my climb Kilimanjaro in May of this year.

I am climbing with a friend to raise money for an amazing organization that I am involved with called, Mom 2 Mom Africa. It is a small Canadian Not-For-Profit that supports Tanzanian students in their quest for quality education, so that they may become self-reliant members of their communities, lifting their families and villages out of poverty. In doing so, we hope to inspire our members, of all ages, to become globally aware and empathetic members of society.

I will be going to Arusha Tanzania to climb Mt Kilimanjaro and hope to raise $10,000 for The Sustainability Project for the local Cheti schools in partnership with Mom2Mom Africa. This page will keep you updated on the fundraising progress, and updates on training. I am excited about the challenge to help some very special children to have the necessities of life. Please support me on my journey.

Went snowboarding today had a good wipeout a bit of a sore back but all good. Went to the spa beforehand and was feeling great! Going to go to the spa a week before the trip to relax and unwind to gather thoughts. This week is staying on track and picking up the pace on workouts. Getting more fundraisers set up this week and getting the next few months organized. Have to get started we need $9750 still to go!

I got to really test out my boots that I will be wearing on the mountain today temperatures were -30 and freezing cold. My toes were frozen and I was only outside for an hour! Guess I need some warmer socks.
